Bank & Program Change Messages

POD HD Pro will respond to incoming MIDI Bank & Program Change messages as follows.

• 

Load Set List:

 from your MIDI controller device, send a Bank Change CC0 (Bank 

MSB), CC32 (LSB) message with a value of 0 (for Setlist 1), 1 (for Setlist 2), etc., 

followed by a Program Change message (Value 0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the 

desired Preset within the Set List. The Set List and Preset are loaded on POD HD 

Pro. 

• 

Load a Preset within the current Set List:

 Send a Program Change message (Value 

0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the desired Preset within the current Set List.

transmit MIDI a Program Change message corresponding to the selected Preset. These 

messages are transmitted to the

 DIN. It is also possible to configure 

Footswitches to send Bank and Program Change messages - see the next section. 

*Note that you’ll need to set your “Footswitch Mode” Setup option to “ABCD” for this 
specific Preset data to be sent when pressing the FBV FS5 - FS8 footswitches to change the 
Preset on POD HD Pro - see 

“Page 1, Setup:Utilities Options” on page 2•2

following MIDI Bank & Program Change commands. Also note that if you connect to 

another Line 6 POD HD Pro or POD HD500, the connected device will follow the Setlist 

& Preset loading behavior of the initial POD HD Pro!
